Recently, Rob had been eating dinner with Abby and Master Ukaili at the bakery. Lolo would come over occasionally as well, so he didn't see the graffiti on the outer walls of the canteen. However, this matter had been a hot topic in the school recently. Three days later, the future supreme magus Your Honor heard the gist of it from Gage. At first, Rob was like most people, thinking that it was some infatuated girl's fanatical act to confess her love to her sweetheart.
After all, similar incidents had happened several times in Siames. There were even students who sneaked untamed carnivorous magical beasts into the dormitory to make their girlfriends happy, almost triggering a fantasy version of the alien incident.
Although this kind of graffiti on the walls had a bad influence, it was still far from the former in terms of destructiveness. It was precisely because of this that Garcia was able to struggle at death's door until now. But now, the student council was on fire because of him. Even with Jessica's help in the dark, he felt that he couldn't hold on much longer.
The thief was even prepared to die a martyr's death. No matter how the lackeys of the student council beat and threatened him, he wouldn't reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. Garcia had already treated this as a trial before joining the thief guild.
Until Rob heard Fatso mention that the messages had some ambiguous words like 'button', he finally realized something. The future supreme magus Your Honor's expression finally turned a little strange. Hmm, could it be that the person they were waiting for was him?
If that was the case, then it was obvious who the person behind the messages was.
Could it be that the woman had already discovered something? Rob recalled their encounter at the Earl's residence not long ago. However, he didn't do anything suspicious that night. Moreover, up until Jessica fainted, she only treated him as a stranger normally.
So how did she know that he was also a student of Siames? The future supreme magus Your Honor couldn't figure out the answer no matter how hard he thought about it. Rob would never have guessed that it was all because of Jessica's woman's unique intuition.
The future Supreme Magus hesitated for a moment, but he still decided to meet the man. Because he had not shown himself for a long time, it indirectly caused the matter to heat up in the academy. In just a few days, the news had spread like wildfire. However, the man seemed to be quite persistent and did not intend to give up until he found him.
Rob suspected that if he didn't show himself, the minister would do even more strange things in the future. This wasn't good news for someone like him who wanted to keep a low profile and pass his days peacefully in the academy. If the last few messages were true, the minister probably only wanted to thank him for what happened at the bottom of the lake and the Earl's residence. Apart from that, she didn't have any other intentions.
The future supreme magus Your Honor didn't mind satisfying her curiosity. Of course, Rob still covered himself tightly with his cloak that night. He didn't follow the message on the wall to the artificial lake where they first met, but instead snuck into the female magus' room at night.
The future supreme magus didn't intend to use this opportunity to explore the female minister's boudoir. He just didn't forget that there was a fox-masked man in the West Simos Academy who was watching everything from the shadows. Although that guy was currently on their side, Claire had warned them before she left that the man's temper and stance were unpredictable. For a spirit that had lived for more than nine hundred years and would continue to live, there was nothing that wouldn't change. He would do anything just to entertain himself.
This kidnapping incident involved an archbishop of the temple, and Rob didn't want that guy to know about it. So he adjusted the meeting location slightly. Jessica wasn't made of steel after all. She couldn't possibly guard the lake every night. In fact, apart from the first day, she would only stay there for the first half of the night. She would return to the dormitory to rest after midnight. Therefore, the future supreme magus Your Honor decided to wait for her in her room.
Other than the academy's common defensive magic circle, Jessica's room also had two small magic traps that she had set up herself. However, these things obviously couldn't stop the most talented youth of the human race. Rob walked in from the front door. The magic circle outside the door didn't seem to sense his presence at all. After entering the room, the future supreme magus boiled a pot of water and dug out some freshly picked tea leaves from the female magus' kitchen. As he was brewing the tea, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Today, the female minister seemed to have … returned earlier than usual.
However, the footsteps stopped in front of the door and didn't enter. After a while, Rob heard an almost undetectable clicking sound. The future supreme magus Your Honor raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was the sound of a magus dismantling a trap.
Unlike the common methods of dismantling magic traps taught in school, this dismantling method was more complicated and required more skill from the magus. The advantage of this method was that it was reversible. The magic trap that was dismantled could be reinstalled in reverse, so the original owner wouldn't notice any changes.
This method was usually used for secret activities or when exploring a place without leaving any traces. The minister definitely wouldn't be so bored as to dismantle the magic circle in front of her door. This meant that there was another 'guest' in her room tonight.
This is quite a coincidence.
Coincidentally, the hot water boiled at this moment. The future supreme magus Your Honor picked up the kettle and unhurriedly brewed the tea leaves in the cup. After that, he returned to the kitchen and sliced two pieces of fruit. After placing them on a small plate, he sat back on the sofa. At the same time, the uninvited guest outside the door finally succeeded in dismantling the two magic traps after tireless efforts. He carefully pushed the door open and entered.
Rob placed the plate of fruit on his knees and freed his hand to pick up the magic staff at the side to cast an invisibility spell. Then, he curiously sized up the intruder before him.
The intruder was a male magus with a hooked nose and a somewhat sinister expression. He didn't seem to be a student of the Siamos Academy, but he wore the Siamos Academy emblem on his chest. This was also the reason why he could sneak into the academy. If nothing unexpected happened, his target tonight should be the owner of this room, Jessica.
